War of the Silmarils is a sub-mod of Third Age: Total War, the ever popular total conversion for Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms. The goal is to follow the lore as closely as possible and faithfully reproduce the heroic First Age of Tolkien's Middle-earth in the Medieval II: Total War engine. War of the Silmarils features many new unique factions, each complete with a roster of units, a completely new campaign map of Beleriand and the lands to the North, and much more. So if you're one of the many who have been enthralled by Tolkien's mystical world, this is a mod to watch!

The predecessors to those we call Laiquendi once lived far past the Ered Luin, but they were driven by orcs and things fouler still to cross the mountains alongside their leader, Denethor. He, as the first and last of their kings, was lost to a merciless battle due in part to the ill-readiness of his people for it. The green elves held no ease in their hearts thereafter, and have taken to recent conflicts with a zeal few would have ever expected. These Laegrim now assume guard over the forest eaves, stone-glass blades felling evil wheresoever it can be found.
Captains of the Laiquendi know very well the primacy of archer bands within their own forces. In the course of time, the sheer skill of these bowmen has begun to mount on itself, with an ever-growing number proving able to target gaps in armor or find their marks in the dead of night. They have also taken on a flintier aspect, manifest chiefly in greater willingness to endure the rain of enemy missiles despite their own lack of mail. Indeed, few are there outside of Gondolin and the Girdle who can match the green elves for prowess.
